Abstract: The paper presents simulation experiment results regarding properties of linguistic pattern based simulated annealing used for solving the facilities layout problems in logistics. In the article, we investigate four different arrangements (02×18, 03×12, 04×09, and 06×06) comprising of 36 items. The examined layouts also differ in the links matrix density (20%, 40%, and 60%) and in defining distance between objects’ pairs for the distance membership function (absolute and relative). We formally examine how these factors influence corrected mean truth values and average classical goal function values based on Manhattan distance metric. The results generally revealed a significant influence of all of the studied effects on the analyzed dependent variables. Some of the findings, however, were surprising and confirmed previous outcomes showing that the linguistic pattern approach is not a simple extension of the classic simulated annealing.
